Answer

$\frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{x+3} + \frac{1}{x-1}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{7x-3}{(x^{3} + 2x^{2} - 3x)}$ = $\frac{A}{x} + \frac{B}{x+3} + \frac{C}{x-1}$ Multiply both sides by (x) (x+3) (x-1) $7x-3 = A(x+3) (x-1) + B (x) (x-1) + C (x) (x+3)$ Substitute x=0 -3A = -3 A = 1 Substitute x=1 4C = 4 C =1 Substitute x= -3 12B = -24 B = -2 $\frac{1}{x} - \frac{2}{x+3} + \frac{1}{x-1}$
